Inclusivity in Academia, Panel organized by: Karine Coen-Sanchez, PH.D. Student at the University of Ottawa. "What about us?" A scholarly discussion. Let's change the "normal", open your mind to a different reality. Panelist includes Dr. Naa Afua Dadesen, Celina Caesar-Chavannes from Queen's University, our colleagues, Dr. Joseph E. Youssef Sawan and Saba Hersi, M.ED.

Statements are not enough! 

It is imperative to continuously work together to reassess the embedded systematic and oppressive structures within academia. To bring forth change that will provide ongoing support to Black, Indigenous and racialized students. Karine Coen-Sanchez, PhD student in the faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa is administering her fourth panel.
